Nice to see people are giving up after one exhibition game. It's freaking October. I won't pass any judgments on this team until December or January. This is a marathon......not a sprint.

Back in 2003, Aerosmith and KISS performed at the Alerus Center on the same night of Game 2 of the UND-Minnesota hockey series. And both events did well.

While I agree with you on FB being treated like a red-headed step-child and that the hockey-only crowd is bad for UND as a whole, I don't think comments like this help anyone. I have season tickets to both FB and MH, so I support both 1000%. Come on man!

If we finish above NDSU, that will be an accomplishment. #notoptimistic

I think you meant...

IALTO!!!

While you are correct in pointing out that we beat a bad team today and that Montana will be much tougher, I think we should enjoy this win nonetheless.

Only in your imagination.

Careful or you'll be accused of "hating hockey" (sarcasm)

He's running for the U.S. House of Representatives. So every day from now to November 6th is a campaign day.

That is what 10 years of mediocrity, embarrassing home losses and waiting for the next shoe to drop will get you. The way I see it, either we come up with the resources to make all of our programs good (and sometimes great), or we don't belong at D-I in the first place.

I would argue hockey has become just this since 2001.

You know things are bad when I agree with you on something. #whenitrains

The question is, will DiLorenzo and Kennedy let him execute those big plans? They seem to want to run everything themselves.

I brought this up in another thread awhile back (the KEM-Kennedy thread) and was told I didn't know what I was talking about.

This is basically an argument to 1) Drop FB or 2) Drop back down to D-II and join the NSIC. No thank you. The idea that having a solid, all-around athletic department will somehow "kill the goose that lays the golden eggs" is pure nonsense and not supported by any facts (alternative or otherwise). A solid, all-around athletic department will lift all programs to greater things. And I hope Chaves has a plan to get us there. #sickofmediocrity

Something that people need to keep in mind. Chaves didn't hire any of the coaches at UND right now. None of them. He owes them nothing and all of them should consider themselves on notice. Produce or you are gone. I am sick and tired of NDSU getting all the good press while we spin our wheels and look bad doing it. It's put up or shut up time for Bubba, Jones and Brewster.

I guess we'll have to wait for the season to unfold to answer those questions. I still think beating SHSU in their house was a big win. We just need to figure out how to follow it up with more wins.

And we had just blocked a FG and had them on their heels. But no, let's put the ball in the air almost every single down and put our QB in an impossible situation at the end of the game.

How the heck do we beat Sam Houston State in their house, a place they rarely ever lose at, and then have some fat, McDonald's loving guy run up the gut for big yardage untouched over and over and over again in the first half? Maddening. Having said that, I will continue supporting this team and they still can have a good season.

Why did we abandon the run at the end of the game? We had all of our timeouts. We had a minute and change to work with. We could have kept running the ball with our three RBs and used our timeouts as needed. By the time we got into the end zone, ISU wouldn't have had time to do anything. But we kept throwing on every down and put our QB into a bad situation at the end. I just don't understand that thinking. And yes, this is on Rudolph. He calls the plays, he needs to be called out for the bad play selection at the end of the game. Having said all that, if this team wins out, no one will even remember what happened today.

Preseason predictions are not worth the effort to make them. Or worth getting worked up about.

This is why run-run-pass-punt is not "ball control offense", it's "ball surrender offense".

Paging Coach Berry.....Paging Coach Berry.........

That was a shot at me. Nice, really nice. Oh yeah, and..... Suck Pack Suck!!!
